Abstract

A translation machine capable of translating one or more sentences described in a source language into a target language, the translation machine having a storing unit which stores dictionaries and predetermined rules, the translation machine includes unit for dividing a sentence described in the source language into morphologic elements so as to analyze a syntax structure of each of the morphologic elements in accordance with the dictionaries and the predetermined rules, a unit connected to the dividing unit for converting the syntax structure of the source language into a syntax structure of the target language so as to generate a translated sentence in the target language on a basis of the syntax structure of the target language, and a unit connected to the converting unit for moduling a result of the translated sentence generated by the generating unit so as to create a user dictionary.

Dependent claims

A translation machine capable of translating one or more sentences described in a source language into a target language, said translation machine having a storing unit which stores dictionaries and predetermined rules, said translation machine comprising:

means for dividing a sentence described in said source language into morphologic elements so as to analyze a syntax structure of each of said morphologic elements in accordance with said dictionaries and said predetermined rules;
and
means connected to said dividing means for converting said syntax structure of said source language into a syntax structure of said target language so as to generate a resultant translated sentence in said target language on a basis of said syntax structure of said target language;
said dividing means including
a determining means for determining whether or not a character located at a proper spot of the character series composing said target language equivalent is a pre-specified one and
a presuming means for presuming the inflection of the translated word depending on the predetermined rules based on the determining result output by said determining means and for registering a presumed result in a user dictionary.

3 more elements

A translation machine capable of translating one or more sentences described in a source language into a target language, said translation machine having a translation module linked with a storing unit which stores dictionaries, a user dictionary, grammatical rules and tree structure converting rules, said translation machine comprising:

means for dividing a sentence described in said source language into morphologic elements so as to obtain information of each of said morphologic elements in accordance with said dictionaries and said user dictionary;
means connected to said dividing means for analyzing a syntax structure of each of said morphologic elements obtained by said dividing means in accordance with said dictionaries and said grammatical rules;
means connected to said analyzing means for converting said syntax structure obtained by said analyzing means into a syntax structure of said target language;
and
means connected to said converting means for generating a translated sentence in said target language on a basis of said syntax structure of said target language obtained by said converting means,
said dividing means including a means for determining whether or not a predetermined symbol is assigned to said translated sentence corresponding to a title comprising one or more of said morphologic elements in said user dictionary.
